Home Sec Calls Eritrean âModern Slaveâ Daydreamer, Chaos Ensues
In a 2025 UK legal rollercoaster, Home Secretary Shabana Mahmood slammed a 25-year-old Eritrean asylum seeker for last-minute 'vexatious claims' and whimsically 'deciding to be a modern slave just before deportation.' This dramatic flair unfolds under the governmentâs tangled âone in, one outâ asylum removal scheme, currently blocked by a high court drama queen move. Mahmood's spicy accusations landed like a bad reality TV plot twist, while immigration lawyers warn the âbroken legal aidâ systemâs glacial pace and modern slavery victim identification framework actually fuel these chaotic last-minute pleas. Welcome to bureaucratic theater, starring modern slavery and legal limbo!

When the government calls a 25-year-old Eritrean a 'modern slave' on his deportation eve, you know justice is just a slow bureaucratic soap opera with extra drama and last-minute plot twists.
Nothing says âefficient governmentâ like blaming asylum seekers for legal system delays while the courts hit pause on âone in, one outâ removal like itâs the next binge-worthy thriller.
Shabana Mahmoodâs idea of last-minute drama? An asylum seeker dropping a âmodern slaveâ bomb on deportation day, because bureaucracy needed more plot twists.
